Thanks guys, thanks a lot for showing interest and support, I will continue posting for sure as it give me an idea of how much I progressed and keep me on track of what I want to do, as well as showing the capability of our platform although it is old now, but it is very competitive in the local events I participated in.

Updated the list in previous post, in contact to buy the few parts remained.

I participated in track day yesterday, Friday November 24th, but didn't take the Z there, as I didn't see a point in heat cycling the tires without having the time to return stock rotors and bleeding the brakes.

But, I drove my friend cars and tested my new cam (Sony X3000), First was VW Golf Clubsport 5 doors hatch, with APR stage 2 (mid torque), and nitto nt01 (worn out ones ), the other one was a typical Subaru BRZ, which are in every corner of the track, this particular car has full exhaust, coilovers, strut bars, swaybars, front AP racing BBK, rpf01 wrapped in R888R, and stock tune but with auto blip.

So to start, my fastest lap in the 370z was 2:27 with RE71R. I did it in 2:28 in Clubsport (second in video) and 2:30 in BRZ (last, but did a faster one but forgot to start the cam). I can write my impressions but this is my car thread

No real updates

Very lazy to change the setup and try as there will be big changes to the drivetrain, instead just using it as is.

I had a trackday last Thursday, this time no free rides, instead my car got a free ride, a friend who got a great experience (recently joined 12 hours race at Spa and got first with his team) Also, he had a 370z before, he was a member here.

First me driving and messing with a Lambo, had two incidents but the second were worse, a moment separating our crash @4:50 (I thought he will stop and go right but suddenly went left after his initial move)

Here just my usual stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhNj81yr50s

Finally my friend driving, he complained about the shifter afterward, luckily SRM to the rescue

Damn that was some wild stuff in the first vid chasing the Aventador. Where is the track marshalls???? You guys were going way to fast with a spun car on the track. I'm sure somebody would have been black flagged or banned at any of the tracks near me.

None the less, very nice save.

Yeah, I am thankful we have avoided it. You are right MaysEffect, the marshall should have raised the yellow flag, I assume there was time for the marshall to act and show the flag before we reach the turn, and to make it worse, I had a friend driving a BRZ at my back .

Thank you bros


Until I get all the parts I ordered and do the work, I cannot say I am totally satisfied with the car performance right now, yes the car feel is good, but the brakes aren't that consistent, it has improved from the time attack event after I re-bleeded them, got Castrol SRF now, I will change the pads to nearly new Carbotech XP10/8 (I will get them from a friend) with new rotor disks to see if my current pads and disks are the issue (before considering going BBK route). Also, the suspension needs some tweaks to get it where I like with the new tires.

and there was a change of the parts I listed before,

Changed the clutch to OS Giken HTR2CD (new model but should work with zspeed solutions), as the single GT isn't compatible with any CSC solution available, and OS themselves recommended the one I went for after explaining all my needs.

Got a rear 10mm spacer with ARP extended studs for all wheels, and Z1 subframe collars.

Also purchased Superpro bushings.

but looks like the parts will be delayed a little something I am used to, but don't like. (Currently received the wheels, radiator, oem fuel pump, cjm top hat, and thermostats).

Got some sweeties


( Click to show/hide )

SuperPRO bushings

PART NO. - Description
SPF3885K - Front Lower Arm, front
SPF3886K - Front Lower Arm, rear
SPF3313XK - REAR Control ARM, upper-inner
SPF3314K - Rear Trailing Arm, Front
SPF3315K - Rear Trailing Arm, Rear

This is what I needed from SuperPRO catalogue, they made from the same materials of whiteline, Polyurethane bushings, but found front lower arm option so took all I need from them after I read that they have the same quality of WL. I didn't want to go full solid bushings for the time being.







( Click to show/hide )

OS Giken Super Lock LSD 1.5 way











( Click to show/hide )

OS Giken HTR series twin plate clutch HTR2CD

A new model line in OS Giken catalogue where they suggested to me, they said it is positioned between STR and TR series, and it didn't need a lot of maintenance if I use it aggressively in track unlike STR which needs regular overhauling. I will make sure to abuse it after break-in period.



I already love the color of the pressure plate, not I will see it everyday after installing hopefully it will not be very aggressive for driving from and to the track



( Click to show/hide )

The rest is OEM parts and maintenance parts.

Nismo Oil filters and NGK spark plugs



OS Giken Diff Oil



Stub axle for LSD installation



Wheel Hubs (rear)



Other seals and bearings for diff rebuild



Nismo final drive ratio 3.9



Also I have a new fuel pump, Infiniti thermostats (170F model) and Mishimoto Radiator which I didn't take photos of them.



Still waiting for Z1 shipment.
